He can refuse the assignment at his age and level of experience.

I think Loaiza is the guy that should and will start the All-Star Game for the American League. He is also our most valuable player this year, hands down. If he can have a second half as good as the first has been, he will win the Cy Young Award. AGREED 100% ESTEBAN FOR STARTER!!!! Hey SS, since I was more then dead on in my E-Lo prediction when we first signed him, does that make us even for the Munoz and other bets/predictions? I guess so I guess we will just have to switch off on rounds

Palmerio has really deteriorated. Unless he was a one year giveaway kind of thing, I wouldn't really want him.

You can't blame Konerko, he has been on the bench for the last week or two. Yeah, it's amazing. A guy hits .191 and he's benched. Are we gonna start saying JM is making a bad decision to bench PK? Wouldn't surprise me. Why so negative today? Hehe, I'm one of the most positive people around here when it comes to the Sox losing. You never see me freaking out after losses, and I'm often the voice of reason amidst a barrage of " :fyou him", "trade him", "fire him", etc, etc, etc. It's sickening to me how down some of you (not you specifically, I'm speaking generally here) can be on the Sox, then just moment later you love them again. It's like Jekyl and Hyde. But when it comes to PK, he should not be playing. It's plain and simple. I don't know what the Sox are going to do, because I don't know if he has ANY trade value at this point. And he's not going to get any value if he's sitting on the bench. But at the same time, if the Sox intend to win, they can't just leave him out there to hit under .200 and hit into countless DP's. They're in a tough situation, and I don't know WTF they're going to do. Think Baltimore would do Konerko for Ponson straight up? You are right Konerko shouldn't be starting. I am not one of those people who gets all glassy eyed over a player and refuses to admit bad things about them. Right now Konerko sucks and Daubach is hitting while we are winning. You play Daub and bench Pauly. It is that simple IMO. I just didn't understand Konerko getting blamed for lack of offense when he hasn't even been playing. Who gets blamed next, Sandy?

Good stuff Jas.

We got to him after he came off of the DL with elbow problems. Now that he is healthy again he seems to own us once more.

This is how KC's season has broke down. 16-3 start, then they went 16-29 to fall back to .500 at 32-32. Now they have won 7 of their last 9 games to get back to 5 over. The first 19 games they played they won against inferior competion. Once their schedule balanced out they fell apart. Now during this short spurt they have run into an injured St Louis team, and a slumping fueding Twins team, now they are in Cleveland who they have owned all year. In other words, until the Royals start to beat someone good, no I am not convinced.

against Cy Mays? I wouldn't hold my breath.

http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/col_rozn...?intid=37797188 Hmmm, its tempting with our offense so bad....but like Rozner said.."Even under the worst of circumstances, it's hard to imagine trading a 24-year-old left-hander capable of putting up 20 wins and 200 innings on an annual basis." Give up on a young lefy...its hard enough to get good starting pitching, don't want to give up on him. I don't think so. same here, i don't think so. beside, drew has boras as an agent. How long does Drew have on his deal? If it is short term at all, we will never trade for him.

I have wondered this too, but actually on a different level. I have wondered this before, but does anyone think Jose could have been a steroid user? His career kind of fits the pattern bad years, then a huge break out, followed by tons of injuries, and now after testing has begun his numbers have fallen off big time. Is this a crazy thought?

Big win too. It takes some of the pressure off of tonights game with Cy Mays. Instead of making it a must win, it means even if we lose there is still game 3 to salvage a series win in.

No way the Royals deal him now, they are currently tied for first place. Even if he is a free agent at the end of the year they still get compensation in the draft. CWSOX45 The royals have to deal Beltran before July 31st. It is an important part of their rebuilding process.

WOW Miles with 5 hits!!! And John Adkins, has he turned the corner, is he for real? Or is this just a AAAA kind of guy, anyone know?

If it is true...

That means Rowand Harris and Graffy in the same line up? :puke

Nope it is in the dirt...

Koch is going to come on to get the last out

AM1000 hasn't said anything about it all night. Are you reading the ESPN boards again?

Marte in to pitch the 9th. Loaiza 8 IP ZERO ER. His era is 1.99, f*** Roy Halliday, this is your all star starter right here!

Miguel K's... well this is it.

Farmer said Koch is still warming up hard, he thinks he will get the 9th inning
